Crime
An excessively high bounty will cause a County's guards to attack the wanted person on sight.	Weapons\Imperial\​1stpersonImperialSword.nif		3% chance.

Bruma
Bruma is the most Nordic of the Cyrodilic cities. Its overflowing taverns, ale halls, and stout wooden architecture are more reminiscent of Skyrim than any other city in Cyrodiil.	bscyrodiil\armor\bruma guard\shield.nif		In County Bruma; 3% chance.
The hardy mountain city of Bruma was one of the few settlements which managed to stay the onslaught of the Thalmor invasion during the Great War. As a result, the city remained mostly undamaged.
The shanty town outside the walls of Bruma houses refugees from the Great War. Unwilling to move on, they have submitted to governance by the Count, although most who live inside the walls do not consider them citizens of their city.
Bruma is in close proximity to Cloud Ruler Temple. Once the home of the Blades, this ancient Akaviri fortress now lies in ruin.	Weapons\Akaviri\1stPersonBladesSword.nif
"Bruma's folk are stout and cheerful... like their ales." -- Anonymous	bscyrodiil\armor\bruma guard\shield.nif
For generations Bruma has been ruled by the Carvain family. This remains true to this day, with Bruma's current reigning count being the young Desilus Carvain.	bscyrodiil\furniture\noble\noblethrone01.nif
Desilus Carvain is the reigning count of Bruma, though some theorize that his mother, Valania Carvain, holds the true power, swaying Desilus in almost every decision he makes...
County Bruma is terrorized by the newly-arisen threat of a bandit clan known only as Thorina's Cutters.	bscyrodiil\armor\bruma guard\shield.nif

Creatures

In ancient times, hunting Cyrodiil's bears was a privilege of royalty and the elite. The Imperial Reserve was created to ensure they always had ample opportunities for sport.
Beware the charge of a wild boar when venturing into the wilderness, as hunters and kings alike have succumbed to their deadly tusks.	N/A
Cyrodiil's forests are lush environments where the graceful deer of the Imperial Province roam in great numbers.	bscyrodiil\loadscreenart\loadscreendeer01.nif
Most of the dogs in Cyrodiil are domesticated, but it is not uncommon to see packs of strays in its major cities.	LoadScreenArt\​LoadScreenDog.nif	(?)

Ogres are weak to poisons of all kinds, leaving them particularly vulnerable to their effects.
"Many will tell of the loveliness of elves. And still more will sing of the fine human form. But where is song or sign that augurs all that is beautiful about Ogres?" - Unknown
"It's all ogre now." -- an unknown traveller at Pale Pass	loadscreenart\loadscreenOgre01.nif		In Bilegulch Mine, Cracked Tusk Keep, Dushnikh Yal, Gloomreach, or Southfringe Sanctum

Unlucky adventurers who perish within Ayleid ruins may find themselves reanimated by the ancient magicks that ward their depths, forever forced to guard the treasures they sought to steal.	bscyrodiil\loadscreenart\loadscreenzombie01.nif
